I heard the Prophet saying, "If there is any healing in your
medicines, then it is in cupping, a gulp of honey or branding with
fire (cauterization) that suits the ailment, but I don't like to be
(cauterized) branded with fire."

A man came to the Prophet and said, "My brother has some abdominal
trouble." The Prophet said to him "Let him drink honey." The man came
for the second time and the Prophet said to him, 'Let him drink
honey." He came for the third time and the Prophet said, "Let him
drink honey." He returned again and said, "I have done that ' The
Prophet then said, "Allah has said the truth, but your brother's
abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey." So he made him drink
honey and he was cured.

Some people were sick and they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give us
shelter and food. So when they became healthy they said, "The weather
of Medina is not suitable for us." So he sent them to Al-Harra with
some she-camels of his and said, "Drink of their milk." But when they
became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away
his camels. The Prophet sent some people in their pursuit. Then he got
their hands and feet cut and their eyes were branded with heated
pieces of iron. I saw one of them licking the earth with his tongue
till he died.

The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet ordered
them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and
urine (as a medicine). So they followed the shepherd that is the
camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became
healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When
the news reached the Prophet he sent some people in their pursuit.
When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes
were branded with heated pieces of iron.

We went out and Ghalib bin Abjar was accompanying us. He fell ill on
the way and when we arrived at Medina he was still sick. Ibn Abi 'Atiq
came to visit him and said to us, "Treat him with black cumin. Take
five or seven seeds and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and drop
the resulting mixture into both nostrils, for 'Aisha has narrated to
me that she heard the Prophet saying, 'This black cumin is healing for
all diseases except As-Sam.' Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said,
'Death."

Aisha used to recommend At-Talbina for the sick and for such a person
as grieved over a dead person. She used to say, "I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, 'At-Talbina gives rest to the heart of the patient and
makes it active and relieves some of his sorrow and grief.' "

I heard the Prophet saying, "Treat with the Indian incense, for it has
healing for seven diseases; it is to be sniffed by one having throat
trouble, and to be put into one side of the mouth of one suffering
from pleurisy." Once I went to Allah's Apostle with a son of mine who
would not eat any food, and the boy passed urine on him whereupon he
asked for some water and sprinkled it over the place of urine.

that he was asked about the wages of the one who cups others. He said,
'Allah's Apostle was cupped by Abd Taiba, to whom he gave two Sa of
food and interceded for him with his masters who consequently reduced
what they used to charge him daily. Then the Prophet s said, "The best
medicines you may treat yourselves with are cupping and sea incense.'
He added, "You should not torture your children by treating
tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils or the palate with the finger, but
use incense."

The Prophet was cupped on his head for an ailment he was suffering
from while he was in a state of Ihram. at a water place called Lahl
Jamal. Ibn 'Abbas further said: Allah s Apostle was cupped on his head
for unilateral headache while he was in a state of Ihram .

The Prophet came to me during the period of Al-Hudaibiya, while I was
lighting fire underneath a cooking pot and lice were falling down my
head. He said, "Do your lice hurt your?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"Shave your head and fast for three days or feed six poor persons or
slaughter a sheep as a sacrifice:"

Allah's Apostle said, 'Nations were displayed before me; one or two
prophets would pass by along with a few followers. A prophet would
pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of people passed in
front of me and I asked, Who are they Are they my followers?" It was
said, 'No. It is Moses and his followers It was said to me, 'Look at
the horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people filling the
horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about the
stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the horizon,' It
was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy thousand
shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then the Prophet entered his
house without telling his companions who they (the 70,000) were. So
the people started talking about the issue and said, "It is we who
have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those
people are either ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic
era, for we were born in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance.'' When
the Prophet heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people are
those who do not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in
bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do they get themselves branded
(Cauterized). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that
'Ukasha bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Allah's Apostle?' The
Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of
them?" The Prophet said, 'Ukasha has anticipated you."

The husband of a lady died and her eyes became sore and the people
mentioned her story to the Prophet They asked him whether it was
permissible for her to use kohl as her eyes were exposed to danger. He
said, "Previously, when one of you was bereaved by a husband she would
stay in her dirty clothes in a bad unhealthy house (for one year), and
when a dog passed by, she would throw a globe of dung. No, (she should
observe the prescribed period Idda) for four months and ten days.'

Allah's Apostle said, '(There is) no 'Adwa (no contagious disease is
conveyed without Allah's permission). nor is there any bad omen (from
birds), nor is there any Hamah, nor is there any bad omen in the month
of Safar, and one should run away from the leper as one runs away from
a lion ''

Abu Bakr kissed (the forehead of) the Prophet when he was dead. 'Aisha
added: We put medicine in one side of his mouth but he started waving
us not to insert the medicine into his mouth. We said, "He dislikes
the medicine as a patient usually does." But when he came to his
senses he said, "Did I not forbid you to put medicine (by force) in
the side of my mouth?" We said, "We thought it was just because a
patient usually dislikes medicine." He said, "None of those who are in
the house but will be forced to take medicine in the side of his mouth
while I am watching, except Al-'Abbas, for he had not witnessed your
deed."

I went to Allah's Apostle along with a a son of mine whose palate and
tonsils I had pressed with my finger as a treatment for a (throat and
tonsil) disease. The Prophet said, "Why do you pain your children by
pressing their throats! Use Ud Al-Hindi (certain Indian incense) for
it cures seven diseases, one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a
snuff for treating throat and tonsil disease and it is inserted into
one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."

When the health of Allah's Apostle deteriorated and his condition
became serious, he asked the permission of all his wives to allow him
to be treated In my house, and they allowed him. He came out,
supported by two men and his legs were dragging on the ground between
Abbas and another man. (The sub-narrator told Ibn 'Abbas who said: Do
you know who was the other man whom 'Aisha did not mention? The
sub-narrator said: No. Ibn Abbas said: It was 'Ali.) 'Aisha added:
When the Prophet entered my house and his disease became aggravated,
he said, "Pour on me seven water skins full of water (the tying
ribbons of which had not been untied) so that I may give some advice
to the people." So we made him sit in a tub belonging to Hafsa, the
wife of the Prophet and started pouring water on him from those water
skins till he waved us to stop. Then he went out to the people and led
them in prayer and delivered a speech before them.

that she took to Allah's Apostle one of her sons whose palate and
tonsils she had pressed because he had throat trouble. The Prophet
said, "Why do you pain your children by getting the palate pressed
like that? Use the Ud Al-Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures
seven diseases one of which is pleurisy."

A man came to the prophet and said, 'My brother has got loose motions.
The Prophet said, Let him drink honey." The man again (came) and said,
'I made him drink (honey) but that made him worse.' The Prophet said,
'Allah has said the Truth, and the abdomen of your brother has told a
lie." (See Hadith No. 88)

Allah's Apostle said, 'There is no 'Adha (no disease is conveyed from
the sick to the healthy without Allah's permission), nor Safar, nor
Hama." A bedouin stood up and said, "Then what about my camels? They
are like deer on the sand, but when a mangy camel comes and mixes with
them, they all get infected with mangy." The Prophet said, "Then who
conveyed the (mange) disease to the first one?"

that she took to Allah's Apostle one of her sons whose palate and
tonsils she had pressed to treat a throat trouble. The Prophet said,
"Be afraid of Allah! Why do you pain your children by having their
tonsils pressed like that? Use the Ud Al-Hindi (a certain Indian
incense) for it cures seven diseases, one of which is pleurisy."

Allah's Apostle allowed one of the Ansar families to treat persons who
have taken poison and also who are suffering from ear ailment with
Ruqya. Anas added: I got myself branded cauterized) for pleurisy, when
Allah's Apostle was still alive. Abu Talha, Anas bin An-Nadr and Zaid
bin Thabit witnessed that, and it was Abu Talha who branded
(cauterized) me.

When the helmet broke on the head of the Prophet and his face became
covered with blood and his incisor tooth broke (i.e. during the battle
of Uhud), 'Ali used to bring water in his shield while Fatima was
washing the blood off his face. When Fatima saw that the bleeding
increased because of the water, she took a mat (of palm leaves), burnt
it, and stuck it (the burnt ashes) on the wound of Allah's Apostle,
whereupon the bleeding stopped.

Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "The Prophet said, 'Fever is from the heat of
Hell, so put it out (cool it) with water.' " Nafi' added: 'Abdullah
used to say, "O Allah! Relieve us from the punishment," (when he
suffered from fever).

Whenever a lady suffering from fever was brought to Asma' bint Abu
Bakr, she used to invoke Allah for her and then sprinkle some water on
her body, at the chest and say, "Allah's Apostle used to order us to
abate fever with water."

Some people from the tribes of 'Ukl and 'Uraina came to Allah's
Apostle and embraced Islam and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are owners
of livestock and have never been farmers," and they found the climate
of Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah's Apostle ordered that they be
given some camels and a shepherd, and ordered them to go out with
those camels and drink their milk and urine. So they set out, but when
they reached a place called Al-Harra, they reverted to disbelief after
their conversion to Islam, killed the shepherd and drove away the
camels. When this news reached the Prophet he sent in their pursuit
(and they were caught and brought). The Prophet ordered that their
eyes be branded with heated iron bars and their hands be cut off, and
they were left at Al-Harra till they died in that state.

'Umar bin Al-Khattab departed for Sham and when he reached Sargh, the
commanders of the (Muslim) army, Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah and his
companions met him and told him that an epidemic had broken out in
Sham. 'Umar said, "Call for me the early emigrants." So 'Umar called
them, consulted them and informed them that an epidemic had broken out
in Sham. Those people differed in their opinions. Some of them said,
"We have come out for a purpose and we do not think that it is proper
to give it up," while others said (to 'Umar), "You have along with
you. other people and the companions of Allah's Apostle so do not
advise that we take them to this epidemic." 'Umar said to them, "Leave
me now." Then he said, "Call the Ansar for me." I called them and he
consulted them and they followed the way of the emigrants and differed
as they did. He then said to them, Leave me now," and added, "Call for
me the old people of Quraish who emigrated in the year of the Conquest
of Mecca." I called them and they gave a unanimous opinion saying, "We
advise that you should return with the people and do not take them to
that (place) of epidemic." So 'Umar made an announcement, "I will ride
back to Medina in the morning, so you should do the same." Abu 'Ubaida
bin Al-Jarrah said (to 'Umar), "Are you running away from what Allah
had ordained?" 'Umar said, "Would that someone else had said such a
thing, O Abu 'Ubaida! Yes, we are running from what Allah had ordained
to what Allah has ordained. Don't you agree that if you had camels
that went down a valley having two places, one green and the other
dry, you would graze them on the green one only if Allah had ordained
that, and you would graze them on the dry one only if Allah had
ordained that?" At that time 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf, who had been
absent because of some job, came and said, "I have some knowledge
about this. I have heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'If you hear about it
(an outbreak of plague) in a land, do not go to it; but if plague
breaks out in a country where you are staying, do not run away from
it.' " 'Umar thanked Allah and returned to Medina.

'Umar went to Sham and when h ached Sargh, he got the news that an
epidemic (of plague) had broken out in Sham. 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf
told him that Allah's Apostle said, "If you hear that it (plague) has
broken out in a land, do not go to it; but if it breaks out in a land
where you are present, do not go out escaping from it."

(the wife of the Prophet) that she asked Allah's Apostle about plague,
and Allah's Apostle informed her saying, "Plague was a punishment
which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but Allah made it a
blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient
in a land in which plague has broken out and considers that nothing
will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah
will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr."

During the Prophet's fatal illness, he used to recite the Mu'auwidhat
(Surat An-Nas and Surat Al-Falaq) and then blow his breath over his
body. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite those two
Suras and blow my breath over him and make him rub his body with his
own hand for its blessings." (Ma'mar asked Az-Zuhri: How did the
Prophet use to blow? Az-Zuhri said: He used to blow on his hands and
then passed them over his face.)

Some of the companions of the Prophet came across a tribe amongst the
tribes of the Arabs, and that tribe did not entertain them. While they
were in that state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or
stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet ),
"Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can treat with
Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse to entertain us, so
we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they
agreed to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's
companions) started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering his saliva
and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his
people presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take
it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When they asked
him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a
Ruqya? Take it (flock of sheep) and assign a share for me."

Some of the companions of the Prophet passed by some people staying at
a place where there was water, and one of those people had been stung
by a scorpion. A man from those staying near the water, came and said
to the companions of the Prophet, "Is there anyone among you who can
do Ruqya as near the water there is a person who has been stung by a
scorpion." So one of the Prophet's companions went to him and recited
Surat-al-Fatiha for a sheep as his fees. The patient got cured and the
man brought the sheep to his companions who disliked that and said,
"You have taken wages for reciting Allah's Book." When they arrived at
Medina, they said, ' O Allah's Apostle! (This person) has taken wages
for reciting Allah's Book" On that Allah's Apostle said, "You are most
entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book."

Thabit and I went to Anas bin Malik. Thabit said, "O Abu Hamza! I am
sick." On that Anas said, "Shall I treat you with the Ruqya of Allah's
Apostle?" Thabit said, "Yes," Anas recited, "O Allah! The Lord of the
people, the Remover of trouble! (Please) cure (Heal) (this patient),
for You are the Healer. None brings about healing but You; a healing
that will leave behind no ailment."

The Prophet used to treat some of his wives by passing his right hand
over the place of ailment and used to say, "O Allah, the Lord of the
people! Remove the trouble and heal the patient, for You are the
Healer. No healing is of any avail but Yours; healing that will leave
behind no ailment."

Allah's Apostle used to read in his Ruqya, "In the Name of Allah" The
earth of our land and the saliva of some of us cure our patient with
the permission of our Lord." with a slight shower of saliva) while
treating with a Ruqya.

I heard the Prophet saying, "A good dream is from Allah, and a bad
dream is from Satan. So if anyone of you sees (in a dream) something
he dislikes, when he gets up he should blow thrice (on his left side)
and seek refuge with Allah from its evil for then it will not harm
him."

Whenever Allah's Apostle went to bed, he used to recite
Surat-al-Ikhlas, Surat-al-Falaq and Surat-an-Nas and then blow on his
palms and pass them over his face and those parts of his body that his
hands could reach. And when he fell ill, he used to order me to do
like that for him.

A group of the companions of Allah's Apostle proceeded on a journey
till they dismounted near one of the Arab tribes and requested them to
entertain them as their guests, but they (the tribe people) refused to
entertain them. Then the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or
stung by a scorpion) and he was given all sorts of treatment, but all
in vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the group (those
travelers) who have dismounted near you and see if one of them has
something useful?" They came to them and said, "O the group! Our
leader has been bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and we have
treated him with everything but nothing benefited him Has anyone of
you anything useful?" One of them replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how
to treat with a Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to receive us as
your guests but you refused. I will not treat your patient with a
Ruqya till you fix for us something as wages." Consequently they
agreed to give those travellers a flock of sheep. The man went with
them (the people of the tribe) and started spitting (on the bite) and
reciting Surat-al-Fatiha till the patient was healed and started
walking as if he had not been sick. When the tribe people paid them
their wages they had agreed upon, some of them (the Prophet's
companions) said, "Distribute (the sheep)." But the one who treated
with the Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to Allah's Apostle and
mention to him what has happened, and see what he will order us." So
they came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned the story to him and he
said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? You have done
the right thing. Divide (what you have got) and assign for me a share
with you."

The Prophet used to treat some of his wives by passing his right hand
over the place of ailment and used to say, "O Lord of the people!
Remove the difficulty and bring about healing as You are the Healer.
There is no healing but Your Healing, a healing that will leave no
ailment."

The Prophet, during his fatal ailment used to blow (on his hands and
pass them) over his body while reciting the Mu'auwidhat (Surat-an-Nas
and Surat-al-Falaq). When his disease got aggravated, I used to recite
them for him and blow (on his hands) and let him pass his hands over
his body because of its blessing. (Ma'mar asked Ibn Shihab: How did he
use to do Nafth? He said: He used to blow on his hands and then pass
them over his face.)

The Prophet once came out to us and said, "Some nations were displayed
before me. A prophet would pass in front of me with one man, and
another with two men, and another with a group of people. and another
with nobody with him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon
and I wished that they were my followers, but it was said to me, 'This
is Moses and his followers.' Then it was said to me, 'Look'' I looked
and saw a big gathering with a large number of people covering the
horizon. It was said, "Look this way and that way.' So I saw a big
crowd covering the horizon. Then it was said to me, "These are your
followers, and among them there are 70,000 who will enter Paradise
without (being asked about their) accounts. " Then the people
dispersed and the Prophet did not tell who those 70,000 were. So the
companions of the Prophet started talking about that and some of them
said, "As regards us, we were born in the era of heathenism, but then
we believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think however, that these
(70,000) are our offspring." That talk reached the Prophet who said,
"These (70,000) are the people who do not draw an evil omen from
(birds) and do not get treated by branding themselves and do not treat
with Ruqya, but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha
bin Muhsin got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Am I one of those
(70,000)?" The Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up and
said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet said, " 'Ukasha has anticipated
you."

Allah's Apostle gave his verdict about two ladies of the Hudhail tribe
who had fought each other and one of them had hit the other with a
stone. The stone hit her abdomen and as she was pregnant, the blow
killed the child in her womb. They both filed their case with the
Prophet and he judged that the blood money for what was in her womb.
was a slave or a female slave. The guardian of the lady who was fined
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I be fined for a creature that has
neither drunk nor eaten, neither spoke nor cried? A case like that
should be nullified." On that the Prophet said, "This is one of the
brothers of soothsayers.

Two ladies (had a fight) and one of them hit the other with a stone on
the abdomen and caused her to abort. The Prophet judged that the
victim be given either a slave or a female slave (as blood-money).
Narrated Ibn Shihab: Said bin Al-Musayyab said, "Allah's Apostle
judged that in case of child killed in the womb of its mother, the
offender should give the mother a slave or a female slave in
recompense The offender said, How can I be fined for killing one who
neither ate nor drank, neither spoke nor cried: a case like that
should be denied ' On that Allah's Apostle said 'He is one of the
brothers of the foretellers

Some people asked Allah's Apostle about the fore-tellers He said. '
They are nothing" They said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Sometimes they tell
us of a thing which turns out to be true." Allah's Apostle said, "A
Jinn snatches that true word and pours it Into the ear of his friend
(the fore-teller) (as one puts something into a bottle) The foreteller
then mixes with that word one hundred lies."

A man called Labid bin al-A'sam from the tribe of Bani Zaraiq worked
magic on Allah's Apostle till Allah's Apostle started imagining that
he had done a thing that he had not really done. One day or one night
he was with us, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period, and
then said, "O 'Aisha! Do you know that Allah has instructed me
concerning the matter I have asked him about? Two men came to me and
one of them sat near my head and the other near my feet. One of them
said to his companion, "What is the disease of this man?" The other
replied, "He is under the effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who
has worked the magic on him?' The other replied, "Labid bin Al-A'sam.'
The first one asked, 'What material did he use?' The other replied, 'A
comb and the hairs stuck to it and the skin of pollen of a male date
palm.' The first one asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, '(That
is) in the well of Dharwan;' " So Allah's Apostle along with some of
his companions went there and came back saying, "O 'Aisha, the color
of its water is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The tops of the
date-palm trees near it are like the heads of the devils." I asked. "O
Allah's Apostle? Why did you not show it (to the people)?" He said,
"Since Allah cured me, I disliked to let evil spread among the
people." Then he ordered that the well be filled up with earth.

Magic was worked on Allah's Apostle so that he used to think that he
had sexual relations with his wives while he actually had not (Sufyan
said: That is the hardest kind of magic as it has such an effect).
Then one day he said, "O 'Aisha do you know that Allah has instructed
me concerning the matter I asked Him about? Two men came to me and one
of them sat near my head and the other sat near my feet. The one near
my head asked the other. What is wrong with this man?' The latter
replied the is under the effect of magic The first one asked, Who has
worked magic on him?' The other replied Labid bin Al-A'sam, a man from
Bani Zuraiq who was an ally of the Jews and was a hypocrite.' The
first one asked, What material did he use)?' The other replied, 'A
comb and the hair stuck to it.' The first one asked, 'Where (is
that)?' The other replied. 'In a skin of pollen of a male date palm
tree kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan' '' So the Prophet went
to that well and took out those things and said "That was the well
which was shown to me (in a dream) Its water looked like the infusion
of Henna leaves and its date-palm trees looked like the heads of
devils." The Prophet added, "Then that thing was taken out' I said (to
the Prophet ) "Why do you not treat yourself with Nashra?" He said,
"Allah has cured me; I dislike to let evil spread among my people."

Magic was worked on Allah's Apostle so that he began to imagine that
he had done something although he had not. One day while he was with
me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period and then said, "O
'Aisha! Do you know that Allah has instructed me regarding the matter
I asked Him about?" I asked, "What is that, O Allah's Apostle?" He
said, "Two men came to me; one of them sat near my head and the other
sat near my feet. One of them asked his companion, 'What is the
disease of this man?' The other replied, 'He is under the effect of
magic.' The first one asked, 'Who has worked magic on him?" The other
replied, 'Labid bin A'sam, a Jew from the tribe of Bani Zuraiq.' The
(first one asked), 'With what has it been done?' The other replied,
'With a a comb and the hair stuck to it and a skin of the pollen of a
male datepalm tree.' The first one asked, 'Where is it?' The other
replied, 'In the well of Dharwan.' Then the Prophet went along with
some of his companions to that well and looked at that and there were
date palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, 'By Allah the
water of that well was (red) like the infusion of Henna leaves and its
date-palms were like the heads of devils" I said, O Allah's Apostle!
Did you take those materials out of the pollen skin?" He said, 'No! As
for me Allah has healed me and cured me and I was afraid that (by
Showing that to the people) I would spread evil among them when he
ordered that the well be filled up with earth, and it was filled up
with earth "

The Prophet said, 'No 'Adha (i.e. no contagious disease is conveyed to
others without Allah's permission); nor (any evil omen m the month of)
Safar; nor Hama" A bedouin said, "O Allah's Apostle! What about the
camels which, when on the sand (desert) look like deers, but when a
mangy camel mixes with them they all get infected with mange?" On that
Allah s Apostle said, "Then who conveyed the (mange) disease to the
first (mangy)

Allah's Apostle said: The cattle (sheep, cows, camels, etc.) suffering
from a disease should not be mixed up with healthy cattle, (or said:
"Do not put a patient with a healthy person ). " (as a precaution).

Allah's Apostle said, "No 'Adha." Abu Huraira also said: The Prophet
said, "The cattle suffering from a disease should not be mixed up with
healthy cattle (or said "Do not put a patient with a healthy person as
a precaution.") Abu Huraira also said: Allah's Apostle said, "No
'Adha." A bedouin got up and said, "Don't you see how camels on the
sand look like deer but when a mangy camel mixes with them, they all
get infected with mange?" On that the Prophet said, "Then who conveyed
the (mange) disease to the first camel?"

When Khaibar was conquered, Allah's Apostle was presented with a
poisoned (roasted) sheep. Allah's Apostle said, "Collect for me all
the Jews present in this area." (When they were gathered) Allah's
Apostle said to them, "I am going to ask you about something; will
you tell me the truth?" They replied, "Yes, O Abal-Qasim!" Allah's
Apostle said to them, "Who is your father?" They said, "Our father is
so-and-so." Allah's Apostle said, "You have told a lie. for your
father is so-and-so," They said, "No doubt, you have said the truth
and done the correct thing." He again said to them, "If I ask you
about something; will you tell me the truth?" They replied, "Yes, O
Abal-Qasim! And if we should tell a lie you will know it as you have
known it regarding our father," Allah's Apostle then asked, "Who are
the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They replied, "We will remain in the
(Hell) Fire for a while and then you (Muslims) will replace us in it"
Allah's Apostle said to them. ''You will abide in it with ignominy. By
Allah, we shall never replace you in it at all." Then he asked them
again, "If I ask you something, will you tell me the truth?" They
replied, "Yes." He asked. "Have you put the poison in this roasted
sheep?" They replied, "Yes," He asked, "What made you do that?" They
replied, "We intended to learn if you were a liar in which case we
would be relieved from you, and if you were a prophet then it would
not harm you."

The Prophet said, "Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain
and kills himself, will be in the (Hell) Fire falling down into it and
abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison and
kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and
drinking it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally
forever; and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be
carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his abdomen with it in
the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever."

The Prophet forbade the eating of wild animals having fangs. (Az-Zuhri
said: I did not hear this narration except when I went to Sham.)
Al-Laith said: Narrated Yunus: I asked Ibn Shihab, "May we perform the
ablution with the milk of she-asses or drink it, or drink the bile of
wild animals or urine of camels?" He replied, "The Muslims used to
treat themselves with that and did not see any harm in it. As for the
milk of she-asses, we have learnt that Allah's Apostle forbade the
eating of their meat, but we have not received any information whether
drinking of their milk is allowed or forbidden." As for the bile of
wild animals, Ibn Shihab said, "Abu Idris Al-Khaulani told me that
Allah's Apostle forbade the eating of the flesh of every wild beast
having fangs . "

Allah's Apostle said, "If a fly falls in the vessel of any of you, let
him dip all of it (into the vessel) and then throw it away, for in one
of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing
(antidote for it) i e. the treatment for that disease."
